- Home Missile from Nenoksa  
By: Hubert Wilson

Surprise submarine SS-30 missile launch from the Nenoksa area!
Headed to Klyuchi or parts unknown amid controlled hysteria?
Everyone wondered if this was the ultimate doomsday fear?
MIRVed with six Bulava missile warheads like a hypersonic nuclear spear!
Yammering incessantly among multiple sweating foreheads and minds astute.
Answer came in only a fright filled intense period so minute!

Anticipated flight path projected just the usual test shoot.
Look electronically indicated five warheads benignly deployed en route.
Anxiously wondering if the sixth had been destroyed?
Shocked to learn the final warhead we could not avoid!
Keenly aware of an impending deadly nuclear mistake?
Agonizing till she shook me awake!
